My Balanced Offensive Team

Infernape (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 64 Atk / 192 Spd / 252 SAtk
Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Close Combat
- Fake Out
- Fire Blast
- Stealth Rock

Where's the love for Leadape these days? Sure, Infernape has trouble against the most popular lead on Shoddy, Metagross, however with prediction, I can gain the upper hand nice and early on in the match. If Meta decides to SR, Fire Blast will 2HKO. If he decides to Earthquake, I can switch to Zapdos, the predict when to switch Gengar in on the Explosion.


Kingdra (M) @ Chesto Berry
Trait: Sniper
EVs: 104 HP / 252 Atk / 152 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Rest
- Waterfall
The late game sweeper. He is kinda like BulkyNite or BulkyMence but better in my opinion. Much better typing and 2 excellent STABS. Chesto-Rest is great to save until late game.


Scizor (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Technician
EVs: 196 HP / 252 Atk / 52 Def / 8 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- Pursuit
- Superpower
- U-turn
Scouts with U-Turn, Traps with Pursuit, revenge kills with Bullet Punch. He is the reason I can beat lead Aerodactyl (Infernape uses Fake Out, on the Stealth Rock/Earthquake I switch Scizor in, then I proceed to use Pursuit as Aerodactyl switches out, fearing a Bullet Punch).


Zapdos @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Roar
- Roost
- Thunderbolt
- Toxic
A beast of a defensive pokemon. Toxic hits Swampert and Hippowdon nicely. I rely on him to check Scizor, Lucario and the like for me. Roar is great to deter Ninjask, or anyone in general away.


Gengar (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hypnosis
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Trick
The reason this set is so good is because Gengar is such an unpredictable Pokemon. This set can take on many different approaches. To break a stall game, Hypnosis and Trick can be used, each which shuts down the Stall game easily. Otherwise, special sweeping can be done with SB and Tbolt. Same goes with revenge killing. The 394 special attack is very powerful.


Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Immunity
EVs: 144 HP / 24 Atk / 120 Def / 220 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Body Slam
- Curse
- Earthquake
- Rest
Earthquake hits Heatan, Ttar and Jirachi.


Pros:
1) Toxic Spikes is easily dealt with. All pokemon are immune to it bar Infernape and Kingdra, of which Infernape dies incredibly quickly (usually) and Kingdra can clear the poison late game with a quick Chesto Rest.
2) The Pokemon cover for eachother's weaknesses nicely
3) All members share a common goal.


Cons:
1) Lead Hippo can be a pain.
2) No Pokemon on my team holds a resistance to Stone Edge.
3) Tyranitar can be a pain when he is switched into Zapdos (currently I try to ensure that Zapdos uses Toxic as much as possible to ensure Ttar is poisoned nice and early.


Plz rate away, see u on Shoddy XD
